Review by Jack M
Picked it up for Cuba Libres, in which it works great. But obviously had to try it neat to get a better sense of it (even if that’s not its intended purpose). Poured and tried it first after taking it from the freezer. Limited nose at that cold temperature (maybe some melon). On the palate it is pleasantly surprising - Vanilla, young wood, citrus, brown sugar. The vanilla does mostly dominate and persists for a shortish finish. As it warms in the glass more bitterness comes through. I’m happy with this as a good value for money mixer and whilst I won’t repeat a neat tasting, I have no problem finishing the taster - but colder is better.

Der beste Rum für Mojito
Review by Henry Davies
It’s a brash young Cuban rum and not trying to be anything else. As a sipper it is not something I would ever reach for as despite an all together well tamed palatte it is just not as complex as it needs to be to be interesting. As a mixed drink in a daiquiri or cuba libre it is without doubt top class, while you can make more interesting version of both cocktails this just works really well and is a bar staple that I always have on hand!
Review by Kieron Wood
Tasted 14-03-2016 My original notes in 2016 are a painful read as I didn't clearly understand the place for a beautiful rum . It's designed for mojitos and daquiris, its been the market leader for years and only recently with rum on the upward trajectory of releases is an ice cold Cuban daquiris beaten ...

Very good for mixing cocktails. Don't try to sip this neat.
Review by Stefan Persson
Have not tested this neat, but it works well as a mixer for more simple drinks.

Cuba Libre!!!!!!!
Review by Mirko Frosini 🇮🇪
Great for a mojito!Impossible to rate it for its taste characteristics because it is a rum born for cocktails. My rating is purely sentimental since it was my first rum.

Enjoyable with Coke
Review by Ian Gilman
Hard to find many better rums for the price. Makes the absolute classic daiquiri, although Probitas I think wins outright.
Review by Chrischi78
Fulfills its purpose as an inexpensive cocktail rum, but offers little enjoyment when drunk neat. It is suitable for mixed drinks, but there are more exciting alternatives with more character in this price range.

Very nice in a pina colada
Review by Michael Ihmels 🇩🇪
Havana Club was probably the first rum most people drank. I was also enthusiastic about Havana back then, as Cuba Libre or in cocktails. Of course, we've learned a lot since then 😉

Expert review by The Fat Rum Pirate
"Maybe I need to start building a few cocktails and exploring white rum a little more. However, for now my assessment is that this in the grand scheme of things is an unspectacular rum. It's average. I'll be cruel and say it......it's white rum what do you expect? My scoring..."Read full review →
